Chateau Palmer 1983

Description:

Chateau Palmer 1983
Margaux, 3eme Cru Classe u. both bottom neck
"One of the superb wines of the vintage, the 1983 Palmer continues to display a saturated purple/garnet color, and an intense perfume of jammy black fruits, smoked meats, flowers, cedar, and Asian spices. Super-concentrated, powerful, and full-bodied, this huge, unctuously textured wine is approaching its plateau of maturity. Because of the high Merlot content it can easily be drunk now, yet promises to last for another 20-25 years. I remain convinced that the 1983 will be the most powerful Palmer since the compelling 1961. Last tasted 9/97" R. Parker, 97 pts. 01/98 2 bottles
Estimate $500-800
